Summary
"Food was increasingly scarce - a little rice with the odd trimmings, plus anything edible that walked, wriggled or
flew, or that could by scrounged or bartered throught the wire - and at best we hit 400 calories a day..." from 'To the Kwai - and Back' by
Ronald Searle
image: A line of soldiers waiting in a food queue, Changi. Two fellow prisoners are doling out the ration from two large
pots in the left foreground. A Prisoner of War, on the far right of the composition, moves away balancing a plate, mess tin and mug in his
hands with an air of deep concentration. All are wearing patched clothes in poor condition.
